stihl

Bought new on Saturday, brought it home and attempted to start it after filling gas mixture. Messed with it for an hour with no success. Left it over night and tried again. After about another hour it started and I used it to cut a few limbs (20 minutes) downed by storm. Went back out today and...

Hey, I was given a 93’ slant fin 044 I got in return for some tractor work. Although I really wanted a new Husky 372, I’m realizing that this old girl is worth the restore/rebuild. My fiancés father lives “off grid” and used this to fell trees to build a house, barn and many other outbuildings...

Hello- For the small Stihl 011AVT chainsaw, the owner's manual is rather ambiguous about the correct gas-to-oil-ration mix. It says, "50:1/40:1" What ratio do people on here recommend?

Hello! I have two stihl MS261c chainsaws at work. Both just got back from the shop where their oiler worms were replaced. (the oiler worm catch peg had previously been broken so that there was nothing sitting in the catch/notch of the clutch drum. I am unsure how long they were broken and still...

Bought the 211C a year ago and had issues with the cover coming loose while using it. Ace finally replaced the cover and things seemed fine for the rest of the season. Got it out recently and that same problem is occurring again. Probably don't have a total of 5 hours of run time on it from...

Hello A little background from me, I have been in the outdoor power equipment industry for the majority of my life after opening my shop at age 14. I am/was a dealer for Dolmar, Efco, Jonsered & Poulan Pro (in the late 90’s & early 2000’s they had few quality models) also a year or so ago...

so i got a husky 2100, and i could not find a carb for it at all. i found that someone put a 395carb on one and ran great. i had a 660 carb laying around and modified the intake block for an impulse port and put the carb upside down. i was impressed with how it turned out and ran really well. is...

My Stihl 036 Pro won't start again so I will probably take it the local Blain's for repair. This will be its 3rd trip to a repair shop in the last 5 years. The saw is about 25 years old. Has the technology changed much in that time? I am doing most of my cutting with an Echo CS-400. I am...

Howdy everyone, looking for some help with my first chainsaw, a Stihl MS180 that won't start. I bought this brand new last year. I only used it once (with fresh fuel and oil) to cut down a tree in the back yard. When I was done, I ran it dry and stored it for the winter. Fast forward to this...

Hey I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for fixing a leaky chain plate. I have a Stihl 044 that seems to be leaking oil from the chain plate. I've taken it off and cleaned all the surfaces so they should mate together and seal when the bar is put back on but for some...

What are two or three of the absolute best, most popular, most widely used chainsaws out there?
